LA PAZ, BOLIVIA — ANTI-DRUG FORCE. The United States and Bolivia are talking about extending the stay of 170 U.S. soldiers sent to Bolivia for narcotics raids. The announcement Tuesday came a day after a narcotics strike force backed by U.S. soldiers and assault helicopters seized what officials identified as the biggest cocaine laboratory ever captured in Bolivia. Bolivian authorities initially said U.S. soldiers and six Black Hawk assault helicopters that arrived in Bolivia on July 14 would remain 60 days.
